Can
Tho (VNA) - The southern city of Can Tho’s leaders held a meeting
on November 14 with An Tin Group for a “smart city” in Vo Van Kiet Street with
investment of 15 trillion VND (660.8 million USD).

Nguyen Duc Tho, An Tin Group’s chairman, said
they planned to build the smart city with total area of 300ha, of which, a half
would be used for residential areas, 25 percent for commercial centres and the
rest for offices for rent.

Tho said architects from Singapore would design
the city to fully make use of natural resources with an aim to effectively
manage energies, reducing pollution and improving the quality of life for
people.

Vice chairman of the municipal People’s
Committee Truong Quang Hoai Nam asked the Centre for Trade Promotion and
Exhibition to be in charge of all procedures for the construction. The city
would create favourable conditions for the group to implement the project.-VNA
